If you are not a British Citizen or a citizen of an EU/EEA country, you may require a Visitor Visa before your journey to the UK. The UK Visitor Visa, also referred to as the Standard Visitor Visa, is a short-term visa permitting a stay in the UK for a maximum of 6 months. Nevertheless, the embassy reserves the right to issue visas for shorter durations. This visa category is designed for individuals intending to visit the United Kingdom for purposes such as tourism, visiting family members, medical treatment, or professional engagements. The application for a UK Visitor Visa must be submitted from outside the UK, and you can commence the application process as early as 30 days before your intended travel date to the UK.
